So today I have a great post for you all. The author of Love & The Goddess is here to share an author interview with you. I reviewed this wonderful book in September of this year. To see my review CLICK HERE.

Where did the idea for your newbook come from?

My time working as a fashion stylist and p.r.
consultant.

Are any
of the characters inspired by someone in real life?

All my characters are composites of several people
I’ve met. The more exaggerated traits in an individual make for interesting
characteristics.

Do you
listen to music while you write, or do you prefer quiet?

Yes I sometimes listen to music. It depends on the
mood and can vary from Annie Lennox toLoreena McKennit or something classical. And sometimes I prefer quiet.

If you
could jump in to any book and live there, which book would you choose?

I like the idea of time travel and going between
alternate universes so I’d choose The Time traveler’s Wife or Philip Pullman’s
His Dark Materials.

What
was last book you bought?

The Perfume collector by Kathleen Tessaro

Why
did you choose to write about Goddesses?

I was obsessed by the Greek myth of the triple goddess
and they say obsession is a good thing for a writer as it inspires passion.
Also I love Carl Jung’swork on
identification with archetypes. The goddesses in the triple myth are powerful
archetypes, present in all women. It was fun to play with an intellectual
concept and write an easy to read, humorous story around it.

So
today I have a great blog tour for you, Last Call by Michele G.
Miller. Enjoy this guest post, blurb and author information.

The Blurb:

“You are cordially invited…”

Four words that spark the fear of God into any gently bred, single southern woman.

When Savannah Guthry receives an invitation to her cousin’s wedding back home in Charleston, South Carolina, her first thoughts aren’t of flowers and dresses. Instead, she's reminded of the groom: her first love and the reason she ended up at a college 500 miles away from home.

Determined to show up and dazzle not only her ex but her spoiled cousin too, Savannah allows her friends to set her up on a series of dates looking for Mr. Right.

Wrapped up in her memories of the past and the drama of her new romances, Savannah doesn’t see the dangerous threat to her life coming…

She might not land her Prince Charming before her Last Call.
